Sarah Aroeste writes and sings in Ladino, the Judeo-Spanish dialect developed by Sephardic Jews after they were kicked out of Spain in 1492. Sarah will give us a guest-DJ-style musical introduction to the language:
She'll spin some of the music that has inspired her as well as selections from her new Ladino-electric cd Gracia - the release of which she'll celebrate with a big gig at Joe's Pub on Thursday May 31st.
